  1. Oh dear. Its started. I now have a list. Chrome Grill Engine bay detailing Rear Valance Skirts Front Lip Seatbelt Covers TV screen DVD player Camera Exhaust Air Induction LED Rears Ive also just bought the nafest thing yet! A set of Z valve caps - LOL. Oh dear - its started.
  2. Excellent - thanks mate. Have to say its a great look
  3. Now then, about this chrome grill look.... Ive just been to halfords, and found not one, not two, but four, yes four, different chrome trim kits. Anyone still got the packaging? Which one is it? There are twotypes that are 3 metres long, and two types that are 4 metres long, different widths etc... So, can someone please enlighten me?
  4. Stop it dammit.. I started off thinking that Rays was going to be the only modification going to be made. Now this ison the list, as well as a dozen other things... You'll see me broke!
  5. yes it was a half shaft, not the main drive, but looking at it, it still looked to be carbon steel (much stronger than plain old steel). Ill get the piccys up later, when I unpack the car! LOL. too tired last night
  6. Its quite sad, but wait until the release of Fast N Furious 3. The popularity of the Z will soar. Even though it is quite a "chavvy" film in my opinion, it will make the cars more desireable. The old supply and demand rule will then push up the second hand market Im sure.
  7. Ill try and get my pics uploaded some time tomorrow. We had a good chat with Tim Marshall (driver of the Sumo Power Z) inthe pits on Saturday. Yes, I do have a close up of the broken driveshaft. It sheared! Thats an inch thick carbon steel shaft sheared off! But. and it is a big BUT. The car is pushing 700Nm of torque. Enough to give any driveshaft something to think about.
  8. No that is not the case at all. This is just a single measure put in place to prevent people simply using our site as a free advertising board without wishing to contribute in any other way. You will find that many places impose very similar measures, and those that do not probably receive funding by way of membership fees or sponsorship, rather than the server and its bandwidth being paid for out of the admins and mods back pockets. So its not a case of posting "any old bollocks" before being accepted. Everyone is accepted, though we do need to place some control over when we allow people to post adverts, otherwise we open ourselves up to everyone and anyone on the planet, using our for sale board without wanting to give anything back to the community. I am sure the original poster, and most other people will now be aware of this rule, it is also posted in the trading post section - therefore I am locking this topic.
  9. Yup - the roadster is a heavyweight! Just switched my wheels to the rays, at 5kg lighter a piece, thats 20kg of that weight shed. Trying to figure out where I could shed more, and then I noticed the bathroom scales... Lettuce for me.
  10. Hi! Another Chris with an Azure Z! Welcome to the site - hope you enjoy it!
  11. Sorry - cant make this one, Im having to help the brother in law move house that weekend.
  12. Kind of makes you want to doesn't it. The problem is though, withold the fee andyou are the one in trouble. Yet its OK for them to squander this money on salaries like that. In my opinion I cant see what the fuss is about. The BBC is funded by what is in all but name, a compulsary tax. So the public should be allowed to see how this money is spent.
  13. http://media.guardian.co.uk/site/story/ ... ?gusrc=rss Am I the only one who is disgusted that they pay salaries like this out of the licence fee? Would all the salaries be the same if it were not for the "unique" way that the bbc is funded. About time the licence fee was abolished in my opinion.
  14. Hi. What would you like to know?
  15. Dont worry - quite a few of us dont think you are a scammer, but if it is the first time people have seen something like this, it does make the seller (you) look like a scammer. The first time I saw something like this, I thought the person was a scammer, but it seems the websites are the ones pulling the wool over peoples eyes. I've seen websites offering my plates for sale before, I dont know how they are allowed to do it. The probably aren't, but do it anyway just to make their site look as if they have some stock. Im guessing that most of these sites own very few plates, and just try to buy if someone puts an order in. If they cant get hold of the plate, they just write back to the bidder and say "sorry its already sold". I think this should be raised with the DVLA, as people are more likely to believe a "shop" or website, than they are an individual. Therefor as per this instance it has clearly resulted in people thinking less of your character becuase of their advertising. Indirect defamation of character?
  16. Hi welcome to the site! If you take a lok in the modifications section, you should find a few interesting posts and info from people who are clued up on the forced induction scene. Hope everything goes well!
  17. Looking forward to setting it all up again tonight now - and loading it with the speed camera database too.
  18. As you now have 10 posts, feel free to advertise it here now. I would still advise that 15 posts will be required for "general" items. We do understand that there certainly is some benefit for members in allowing the advertisment of cars or other items regardless of how much of a contribution that person has made to a site. However, if you look at this from our point of view, we do not charge money for access to a single area of this site, nor do we expect members to pay anything toward the running or maintenence costs. We do not restrict membership of this site to a select group of individuals, such as owners or pevious owners etc.. Therefore the post limit before advertising is our only control over preventing our site being used by anyone and everyone who wants to advertise anything. However, as stated , as it seems you are not a flying visitor, and have started to contribute, feel free to advertise your car now. I am sure you will agree, whilst our status as a 100% open and free forum may be a huge benefit to owners and or motoring enthusiasts in general, it will always be open to abuse, so we do have to take some precautions over how our bandwidth or status is used. I hope this hasn't caused too much of a problem for you. Regards, Chris.
